We encourage everyone who hears women’s compositions over the airwaves or the Internet to thank the broadcasters.Ī growing list of “friendly” stations follows. Pope.L is an artist and an educator based in Chicago, his work is featured in Documenta 14.The Advocacy Committee encourages every composer and performer with a commercially produced CD to send it to appropriate stations–and, as Ursula Rempel says, “let us know that you have.” However, this Campaign is also interested in the dark side of our nature-for example, the side of our nature that pisses in the middle of the plaza in the brightest of light of day. The Whispering Campaign I have created is not so specific. Traditionally Whispering Campaigns have been used to destroy a reputation or win a political election. Impromptu descriptions generated on site by wandering performers responding to the city as they walked. Borrowed or found texts collaged together to make new texts 4. Original material written by the artist 2. The texts for the work were generated in several ways: 1. Over the 200 days of documenta, the Whispering Campaign, in both Athens and Kassel, will broadcast more than nine thousand hours of material. The installations and performances have been scripted into a score: a two-sided document that can be found at installation sites as well as the press and information office.
The live performances can occur almost anywhere. The installations are located in restaurants, cafes, museums, parks, parking lots, a bar, a mall, a bike, a car and a radio station. Whispering Campaign is composed of two main components: installations of electronic speakers and live performances. The project is a kind of haunting of Europe or more accurately a re-statement in hisses, slobbers and lisps of the spirits and anxieties currently besieging the community of Europe. Whispering Campaign is a sound performance art work that uses whispers to irritate, disturb, provoke and elevate in order to make the visible, invisible and the invisible, visible.
